Parents:
Your son doesn’t need a perfect baseball journey.
He needs adversity.
Bad games. Failure. Pressure. Disappointment.
That’s where confidence, toughness, and maturity are built.
Don’t rescue him from every hard moment.
Taitn Gray, after his 2 HR game yesterday, is now the only player in Minor League Baseball 18 YO or younger to have 5+ HR and a BB% over 18%
77.2% Contact% with a 163 wRC+ and a .978 OPS over 116 PA. + Power from both sides with + bat speed. The batted ball profile is awesome
The maximum annual Social Security payroll tax contribution is currently $10,453.20.
If you paid that full amount every year from age 18 until retirement, your maximum Social Security benefit would be about $4,873 per month.
By contrast, if you had invested that same amount annually in a low-cost S&P 500 index fund instead, you could expect roughly $32,583 per month in retirement income.
Social Security is a scam.
Taitn Gray has impressed at Low-A 👏
The Rays prospect is hitting .317/.429/.500 over his first 17 games with a 94 mph average EV.
He's an up-arrow prospect ready to climb our 2026 rankings 📈

Taitn Gray was the only player under 20 years old entering today with 2+ HR and a BB% over 20%.
He has two hits tonight, including a triple he smoked to CF. He runs extremely well for his 6’4”, 220 lb frame and has a 1.166 OPS to start the season.
HS sports:
Lifting with your team 2x/wk in the off-season doesn’t always guarantee you will win a title. It just increases your likelihood of success.
But not training with your team 2x/wk in the off-season almost always guarantee that you will not win a title. It wildly decreases your chances of success.
